About the Statutory Demand

A Statutory Demand is a formal process under the Insolvency Act 1986 for the payment or other satisfaction of a debt that is owed by a debtor to a creditor. The Statutory Demand provide the debtor with a limited amount of time (18 days) to either pay or satisfy the debt or have it set aside by the court.

What to do next?

You must take action quickly if you dispute the debt in part or in full or, that you, accept the debt is due but cannot afford to pay it immediately. You must not ignore the Statutory Demand or take your time about dealing with it.

Failure to deal with the Statutory Demand

Should you fail to deal with a Statutory Demand within the allowed 18 days your creditor may immediately issue a Winding-up Petition against your company (or Bankruptcy Petition being an individual). This would lead to the company's bank accounts (or personal bank accounts in Bankruptcy proceedings) being frozen prior the court hearing date due to be held to commit your company into compulsory liquidation (or you being made Bankrupt if an individual).
